35 min:<\/strong> Gibbs-White plays a cute reverse pass down the left for Anderson, who crosses deep. Wood, on the right-hand edge of the six-yard box, hooks back to Gibbs-White, who had kept going, and finds himself in space on the penalty spot. Gibbs-White leans back and hoicks sky-high. A poor end to a fine move. That could have been a great goal.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 33 min:<\/strong> The last six matches between these two teams: 1-1, 1-0, 1-1, 0-0, 1-1, 1-0. Forest won both of the 1-0s. So this is kind of going to form at the moment. These lads not given to goalfests.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 31 min:<\/strong> Devenny makes off down the left, chasing after a ball missed by Sangare. He wins a corner. Hughes swings it in for Lacroix, who steers a header goalwards, but it\u2019s soft and easy for Sels.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 29 min:<\/strong> Mateta has a bash from distance. Sels parries a ball heading towards the bottom left. A save he should make, even though there was power in the shot.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 27 min:<\/strong> Hughes finds Mitchell in space on the left. Mitchell crosses low. Milenkovic hooks out for a throw with Mateta lurking. The resulting throw leads to a brief game of head tennis, before the whistle blows for a foul only the referee spots. Pressure off Forest.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 26 min:<\/strong> Sarr has the chance to slip Mateta into the Forest box, down the inside-right channel on the underlap. But he overhits the pass. Palace belatedly waking up.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 24 min:<\/strong> Munoz strides down the right, reaches the byline, and whips in a cross. Sels slaps it around his near post in a panic. But there\u2019s no corner forthcoming, because the cross had already curled out of play for a goal kick.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 22 min:<\/strong> Wharton drops deep to quarterback. From a deep position on the right, he tries to release Devenny into the Forest box down the left. His diagonal ping flies into the stand behind the goal.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 21 min:<\/strong> Hudson-Odoi advances at speed down the left, but upon reaching the edge of the Palace box, clanks his shot straight into Richards.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 20 min:<\/strong> El Casico is currently no classico.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 18 min:<\/strong> Munoz has the opportunity to release Sarr down the right, but his pass is overhit, and Sarr\u2019s first touch is clumsy. Goal kick.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 16 min:<\/strong> Forest are slowly getting on top, but it\u2019s a marginal thing, because nothing of any import is going on.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 14 min:<\/strong> Gibbs-White knocks the ball down the right flank and prepares to chase after it. Lacroix hangs out a cynical leg to stop a promising attack. Into the book he goes.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 12 min:<\/strong> Safeway, for example. Or Fine Fare.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 10 min:<\/strong> Lacroix half-clears the corner; Sangare launches a volley from the edge of the box into the J Sainsbury car park behind the stand. Other popular-in-the-1980s supermarket chains are available.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a009.17 EDT<\/p>\n 9 min:<\/strong> Aina spins Mitchell and advances down the right. He crosses, looking for Wood. Lacroix is forced to concede the first corner of the afternoon.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 7 min:<\/strong> The Forest fans are certainly in a chatty mood. Now they give Hughes, formerly of Derby County, the what-for.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 5 min:<\/strong> Gibbs-White bustles his way past Mitchell down the right and crosses low for Wood, who flips a first-time shot wide right from six yards. Big chance. A brisk, fun start to this game.<\/p>\n Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White (left) attempts to cross. Photograph: John Walton\/PAShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a009.32 EDT<\/p>\n 3 min:<\/strong> \u2026 and then suddenly the match springs into life. Wood nearly gets the better of Mitchell in the race for a long ball. Not quite. Then Palace counter, and Devenny powers into the box from the left. He\u2019s entitled to shoot, but tries to find Mateta in the middle instead. Murillo blocks and Sels smothers.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 2 min:<\/strong> Nothing doing on the pitch yet. In the stands, the Forest fans launch the first aural salvo, informing the home support that Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis \u201cdoes what he wants\u201d.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Palace get the ball rolling.<\/strong> El Casico is go!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n The teams are out.<\/strong> Palace sport their red and blue stripes, while Forest are in white shirts that pay homage to Nottingham\u2019s Lace Market, incorporating [unfolds press release, adjusts monocle and squints] \u201ca pattern that weaves together the club\u2019s iconic crest and the NG postcode\u201d. A fine atmosphere as ever at Selhurst, the home fans unveiling a tifo of Joel Ward lifting the FA Cup.

Of course.\u201d<\/p>\n Is there a need for talks between himself, Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, and head of football Edu?<\/strong> \u201cYes, that\u2019s what we need to do, and we\u2019re gonna do it \u2026 today for sure not, because of the match, but soon, of course \u2026 there is no speculation around anything \u2026 we have to communicate and approach the final days of the market \u2026 prepare our boys.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a009.04 EDT<\/p>\n Noises Off dept.<\/strong> Ed Aarons gauges opinions of the events that have led us to El Casico.
